How to Improve mass effect 3
8 min read
I sent this write up to bioware plus my tali photo shop they have yet to say anything to me and doubt they will. I have done work in the gaming field and I have been a fan of the mass effect series and mass effect 2 being one of my favorite games. I was awaiting mass effect 3 and upon playing thought of many ways it could have been done better I gave this a lot of thought and would like for it to be seriously considered what I am proposing. Lets start with the biggest problem the endings and work our way down to the less important problems here is my lay out of six endings that work to please any fans for the most part.
1. Worst ending reapers win killing all advanced life leaving for a new cycle.
2. Second worst shepard and whole team dies and most of the galaxy the reapers are weakened to the point where they retreat and are not destroyed buying the galaxy a short amount of time before they return killing the rest of the galaxy.
3. Third worst Shepard and whole team dies and most of the galaxy but the reapers are defeated.
4. Middle ground Shepard dies some of your team lives and most of the galaxy survives reapers are defeated
5. Second good Shepard lives most of team survives and galaxy reapers defeated.
6. Best ending Shepard lives all of your team and most of galaxy survives defeating the reapers.
In all the endings you see the full outcome of what happened and why how your team lives or dies this includes people not on your team such as kasumi jack wrex etc in the good ending you see how you and your team react to what happened in both the good endings your love interest survives in the best you and said love interest get married as they start their lives in a galaxy free from the reaper threat. You find out the significance of the dark energy which it ends up being the catalyst that can be used to destroy the reapers. There should also be a battle in space controlling the Normandy fighting the reapers and a final boss fighting harbinger starting in space with the Normandy then on the citadel as Shepard and your whole team including kasumi jack wrex etc this battle would not happen in the worst two endings for you have already been killed losing to the reapers. The way this works is that the Normandy destroys harbingers shields' making it vulnerable and it goes to stop Shepard from activating the citadel in its weakened state ultimately being defeated depending on other factors of what ending you would get this is where you and your team will live or die. Now these endings would be determined by allies you obtained characters alive from mass effect 1 and 2 how much people respected you in the game and of course all the choices you made in the games saving the rachni queen, curing the genophage, saving the council etc, and in none of the endings do the mass relays get destroyed this pretty much defeats the purpose of shepard defeating the reapers because everyone is stuck where they are dooming a lot of them to die because of lack of food they need and it makes no sense why joker was in a mass relay.
Now on to the less important but still important problems with the game this is not in any order. Gameplay now the gameplay is really good but there is barely any in the game not even a 1/4 as long as mass effect 2 the missions lacked the depth and atmosphere of mass effect 2 a great example of a fantastic mission in mass effect 2 is the arrival dlc great action in it atmosphere like when your in the batarian base and the impact of what you were trying to do really griped you into it I don't get any of this from missions in mass effect 3 they are all really short and lack variety. Not being able to have heavy weapons with you anymore is a minor point but still you should have been able to have them. The side mission are all really bad they are all scan the planet and give item to someone fetch quests its really boring and is just busy work it didn't add anything to the game. Now that's not saying that fetch quests are bad but in mass effect 2 you actually landed on the planet and did stuff to get the item. Now another problem is that all the characters should have been romanceable by any gender this would not have negatively effected the game in any way nor messed up the cannon because say you have a female shepard and romance tali she is a lesbian in that game but in another a male shepard romances her she is straight in that one or if she is not romanced at all you don't know her preference so it works fine if any character is romanceable by any gender because the cannon of one shepard is totally different than the cannon of another. The sex scenes are really bland you see nothing and is over all boring its an M rated game treat it as such. The lack of places to land is a big issue the only place to go is the citadel in mass effect 2 you can go to a lot of places such as omega, ilium, tuchanka, and the citadel these should have all places you can land and it was stated that omega was taken over well a mission should have been to take back omega. The lack of playable characters is a big issue in mass effect 2 you have a large group to choose from giving you varied gameplay and character development in 3 I really didn't connect with my characters my favorite character was kasumi and I had her with me every mission but now she has such a small part in the game she mite as well not have been in the game. Same with jack she was a really interesting character but now is barely in the game all the characters that survived mass effect 2 should have been playable characters they reason you bioware gave for not having as many characters was to have closer relationships this was not true in the game it was much closer in 2. The fact that your choices didn't matter if mordin dies you can still cure the genophage you killed the rachni queen there is another one legion dies there's another one. It should have made things impossible if certain characters died or certain decisions were made like if mordin died in 2 curing the genophage should have been impossible to name one example. The face of Tali is really bad it was a quick ten minute photoshop of a stock photo what you should have done is ether A. done a really good 3d model of her face with clearly alien features not looking just like a purple women or B. not shown her face at all and leave it to everyone's imagination because what people think a character looks to them is always better to them than what is shown. Now problems with the picture itself is tali would not have long hair it wouldn't fit in her helmet and also would just get in the way for people that never take there suits off she should have had very short hair or no hair at all. The color now why is she purple the reason you made it purple is because that's what everyone say she is because she wears purple and has a purple visor but they color was so lazy why was everything purple even the back ground rannoch was not purple. She is clearly not wearing her suit she would have gotten really sick and died. Her hand is probably the worst part of the picture its just cut in half with a hard brush instead of making it look like her hand at all. Last She doesn't look alien at all just a purple normal women. Now I put my money where my mouth is and took the same stock photo and made a much more alien closer to what she should have looked like photoshop in mine only she is a different color I didn't color the background, I made her hand look just like in the game I made her clothes look closer to the one in the game made her hair short and made her more alien looking. A 3d model is what should have been done but I didn't have the time. Now I am only begun my work as a game developer currently doing a design prototype for sega but I have shown you I know what makes a good game and how to fix problems I have been playing games for 17 years I know what I am talking about and fixing the things I mentioned would make this game worthy of being the closing chapter of mass effect.
1. Worst ending reapers win killing all advanced life leaving for a new cycle.
